What's New in the Level System
The GO Beyond update, released in November 2020, implemented some changes to Pokémon GO's level system. Chief among them was the addition of 10 more levels for the most dedicated trainers to reach.
Another change was in the way of conquering each level starting at 40. Now, in addition to reaching the required amount of experience points, trainers must complete a short list of tasks in order to progress to the next level.
Level 50 requires dedication, skill, and patience.
The closer to Pokémon GO level 50, the greater the amount of EP needed and the more difficult the missions. However, points accumulated in one level will be added to the next after you complete challenges and reach the next level.
Starting at level 40, powering up your Pokemon will also require a new type of candy. Candy GG increases your creature's combat points (CP) just like regular candies, and they are obtained by capturing or converting regular candies into GG candies.
